“The implementation went smoothly, the interface was built in just 3 weeks. We have never had a system failure since go-live. For us as technology enthusiasts, it’s also great that new features are constantly being added.”
Simon Blickenstorfer, Co-Founder, Blinno GmbH
The challenge:
Blinno GmbH wanted to offer its clients the best and most secure solution for electronic signatures on the market. Blinno also uses Certifaction for itself in order to make its own contract process completely digital and avoid the back and forth and legal uncertainty of processing by e-mail.
The integration into the accounting system (Bexio) and CRM monday.com should take place via an interface and be as uncomplicated as possible.
Customer requirements:
Security of electronic signatures is important
Easy to use and versatile for customers in various industries
Quick and easy integration via interface
The solution
After thorough research and analysis of several eSignature tools, Simon Blickenstorfer and his team decided on Certifaction. “Certifaction is the best tool on the market for us. That’s why we use it ourselves and offer it to our customers,” says the co-owner.
Blinno believes that the security aspect in particular is covered by the local processing of documents on the customer side and end-to-end encryption. The zero-document-knowledge approach prevents Certifaction (unlike its competitors’ tools) from viewing the documents.
The tool offers Blinno maximum security for both its own contracts and customer projects. Blinno appreciates the user-friendliness of Certifaction, as the tool is so self-explanatory that it could even be used without training.
The interface with the company’s own system was build and implemented in just a few weeks. Both teams worked closely together. The integration via the API went without any major difficulties.

FAQs
Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions
How is Certifaction different to simple PDF solutions?
The biggest difference is that Certifaction doesn’t rely on simple PDF solutions that have been manipulated and hacked time after time:
- You benefit from blockchain’s superior security has no single point of failure and is virtually impossible to hack.
- You stay in full privacy control, with a solution that is built on privacy-by-design, where your documents don’t have to be uploaded to the cloud but can be locally processed on your device.
In addition, your documents can be instantly verified – in an intuitive way that doesn’t require an instruction manual. And thanks to our Digital Twin solution, you can now also verify printed documents – on any smartphone – and download their digital originals.
Are Certifaction's eSignatures legally valid?
Yes. Our blockchain-based eSignatures are legally valid and support all major global standards (incl. eIDAS, ZertES, UETA, ESIGN).
In addition, you can select the right signature type for your needs: from our cost-effective blockchain eSignature all the way up to qualified blockchain eSignatures (QES).
And did we already mention that they come with a full audit trail that is immutable?
Will my documents be uploaded to the cloud?
No, not necessarily: Certifaction is built on privacy-by-design. This means that all documents can be locally processed on your device – or, if they need to be shared via the cloud (e.g., for eSignature invitations or the Digital Twin), then they are protected with end-to-end encryption and hosted on ISO 27001 certified servers in Switzerland. And as an Enterprise customer, you also have the option to host your documents on your own server.
Is it free to verify a document?
Yes. The verification of both your electronic & printed documents is free.
And did you know that you could also make our verification tool your own (on the Enterprise plan) and embed it in your own web page?
Can I keep my branding throughout the whole process?
Yes, in our Enterprise plan. There you have the option to customize the branding of all signing, certifying, and verifying processes and stay within your brand identity. That also includes our WebApp and your document footers.
